TORCH TALK DAY 4: THE GREATEST 10 MINUTES IN ITALIAN TRACK AND FIELD HISTORY, YULIMAR ROJAS' WR, SIFAN HASSAN GETS KNOCKED DOWN BUT GETS BACK UP AGAIN
The golden hour of track and field on Day 4 included shared gold medals between friends Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim, a world record in the triple jump by Yuliar Rojas and a former long jumper winning the men’s 100m in the post-Usain Bolt era. Team Torch Talk is back at it and breaking down an incredibly exciting evening session of Day 3 and morning session of Day 4 in Tokyo. Medals were won, favorites didn’t make it through and apparently it is possible to have enough energy to run, fall down, do a somersault and get up and win your 1500m heat less than 12 hours before a 5000m final. Plus: Chris has a viral tweet...for now. Also discussed in this episode: - The fall between Isaiah Jewett and Nijel Amos that cost only one of them a trip to the finals - Long jump madness that results in a Greek champion - Fred Kerley's risk pays off massively and why he decided to go for the 100 meters in the first place - Big Italian energy + Much More TUNE IN AND LISTEN TO TORCH TALK WITH CHRIS, KYLE AND DANA.
